About Aswan

Asuán, serena ciudad del sur de Egipto junto al Nilo: falucas entre islas de granito, aldeas nubias y orillas bordeadas de palmeras.

El Nilo está aquí en su momento más hermoso, interrumpido por rocas de granito e islas verdes. La isla Elefantina alberga ruinas de templos antiguos y coloridas aldeas nubias, la isla Kitchener está cubierta por un jardín botánico, y en la orilla oeste las Tumbas de los Nobles están excavadas en los acantilados de Qubbet el-Hawa, mientras que el mausoleo con cúpula del Aga Khan se alza sobre una colina del desierto más al sur.
